How to apply for your provisional driving licence

by Dave Foster • July 15, 2021

Before you can get started with your driving lessons, you’ll need to apply for your provisional driving licence. The provisional licence is a form of photo ID that allows you to drive as a learner on the roads with the correct supervision. You may have seen your friends or family members carrying the little green card – that’s a provisional licence.

⚠️ Attention: It’s vitally important to note that you should NEVER use third-party websites to apply for your provisional driving licence. Among other issues, you’ll end up paying more money and giving sensitive information out to unverified companies to ultimately fill out the same form for you. Always ensure you use the official gov.uk link when using government services. We’ve taken care to only link to official government sources in this article.
